News from the Mustang Studio: Send in Your Thanks!
Our first community video, our virtual Halloween Celebration, had such a positive response, we thought we’d do it again! This time, we’re creating a video that focuses on Thanks and Gratitude. It’s easy to join in the fun:
- Create a sign or poster that mentions one thing your Gayman student or your family is thankful or grateful for.
- Take a photo with the sign. (See picture above.)
- Best Way to Share: Send it to the studio by using this form in Office 365:
- https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=j0gLqp78hUGl4zhCIN8jyj2BNE7WsMNAj-2RXoOmNGBUOE9GQVY3MVVSODFYVDkzV1U3WklHSjdLTi4u
- (Please note: you will have to access the form through your child’s account to upload the file.)
- You can also share your photo by e-mailing it to Mrs. Thomas at hthomas@cbsd.org
Submissions will be accepted through Sunday, November 29th. We will do the best we can to include as many photos as possible in the video, which will be shared during the first week of December.
Veteran's Day Video
Thank you for submitting the names of veterans for our 2020 Heroes List!
This year, our school lawn was lined with flags from our library to our main entrance. One flag representing each veteran. In addition, our Veteran's Day Committee assembled a brief video of the names, along with a special interview of Mrs. Cheryl Silvestri. We hope you enjoy the video!
1st Trimester Parent Teacher Conferences
Please note: 1st Trimester conferences will be held the afternoon of December 10th & 11th. We look forward to talking with you soon!

News from the Gayman Home and School Association
Attention Parents
Gayman Home and School has realized that we are in need of Parent Teacher Liaisons for each homeroom. This new role is an at-home volunteer position. Regardless of what learning mode your child is in, their teacher could use your help!
An example of what you might be asked to help with could be to cut out shapes and bag them for a classroom craft to be done at a later date or to help organize a class teacher gift (holiday and end of year). The level of assistance needed will vary by grade level and teacher needs. This role is similar to the homeroom parent role, however parents will not be allowed into the classrooms, as there are no class parties this year.
If you are able to offer some help, please click on the below link to our sign up genius (SUG) to let us know you're interested. The SUG will close on 12/2/20.

The position will be filled based on a lottery system and you will be made aware via email on 12/4/20 if you were chosen.
We hope you are all well and look forward to hearing from you. Please direct any questions to Jen Kanyok (ghsapres@gmail.com)

News from the Health Office
Reporting an Absence
The attendance secretary, Mrs. Stevens, will change that absence to virtually present (VP). This will give the student credit for attendance, but notes that the student is following the guidelines established by the Bucks County Department of Health as he/she remains home and in isolation.
Online Absences: If a student does not attend class, the student will be marked absent until we receive the communication from parents. Note: If a student logs-in initially, but leaves the call or does not engage, the comment "Virtually Cut" will be added to the comments section. Parents can see this information and reach out to Mrs. Stevens with any questions regarding their child's participation on the specific day.
